Onkyo 100 WPC Stereo Receiver w/ Phono, Sub, 2 Zone TX-8555

Onkyo 100 WPC Stereo Receiver with Phono, Sub-out, Dual Zone and original remote.

Rare combination of features from the recent model Onkyo Stereo Receiver. Very nice to have a dedicated subwoofer output and Dual Zone option for music applications, without the complication of un-needed home theater features or surround sound.

For great stereo sound at a remarkably down-to-earth price, check out this versatile receiver from Onkyo. The TX-8555 boasts 100 watts per channel of clean, high-current power to deliver a powerful sonic punch that’s sure to satisfy.

Rock-solid Onkyo construction The ‘8555 owes its impressive sound quality to Onkyo’s renowned low-impedance amplifier design. Its oversized, shielded transformer provides maximum power capacity and stability with minimum hum. An efficient heavy-duty extruded aluminum heat sink ensures cooler operation and longer life from your receiver. Plus the rigid, reinforced chassis and aluminum front panel fight performance-robbing vibration. These details all add up to breathtaking performance, and the ability to drive virtually any speaker system with ease.

Hook-up flexibility and convenience The ‘8555 provides plenty of inputs for your audio gear: Connect up to three audio source components (including a turntable). Two-room/two-source capability means you can enjoy one audio source in your main room while a housemate listens to another source in a different room. (You’ll need amplifiers or powered speakers for the second room.) Two sets of main speaker outputs let you connect an additional pair of speakers.
